Mill Ridge Park Cleanup
Join the Compact for a good old-fashioned, family-friendly community litter cleanup at Mill Ridge Park! We’ll be beautifying areas around the playground, lawn, and road before Friends of Mill Ridge Park’s Pear Jam 2025. Plus, Hurricane Creek runs along the edge of Mill Ridge Park, and your efforts will keep litter from washing into the water.
After the cleanup, be sure to stick around and enjoy a free evening of food, music, and play at Pear Jam 2025. The Cumberland River Compact will have a table set up with information about local waterways and a special activity!
What to Bring & Wear to the Cleanup:
- Comfortable clothing and shoes that can get dirty.
- A hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
- Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and snacks if needed.
What We Provide:
- Gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all necessary cleanup materials.
- A brief educational talk about water conservation in Nashville!
Volunteer Requirements:
- Registration on VolunteerHub is required.
- Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. This is a family-friendly event! A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for anyone under 18. Young children must be accompanied by an adult.
- If you are volunteering to receive credit for service hours, please bring necessary documentation from your school or organization for one of our staff members to sign at the end of the event.
